About Heart Sessions

Hello all. This blog is intended to honor the group meditations initiated by Tom Sawyer, now carried on by friends of his since his passing. Being physically spread out as we are we have agreed to sit down in our own homes at the same clock time, 9pm EST on Sunday nights. We sit for at least 20 minutes, although sitting for longer periods is no problem if you so choose.


There is no specified technique for these meditations. Precisely prescribed actions sometimes become unauthentic and what is meaningful for one person may not be for another. So if you choose to assist you may use a favored technique or listen within, apply self-honesty, and allow growth. There is no political or economic agenda involved. There are no dues or dogma. The essential point is an honest willingness to help.


Each week there is a suggested focus as posted on this blog. We previously had been using an email list but now, through the kind assistance and generous guidance of Barbara Whitfield and Donald Brennan, we have the pleasure of this blog forum. Loving thanks to you both. Comments may be left by clicking the "Leave Comments Here" link below each post.

Hello again loving people. The life lessons which are ours to learn often come in the form of storms and trials. The heartbreak which follows is the opening needed to allow the lessons inside. As we adjust, adapt, and absorb the lessons on all levels – healing occurs.
 
It is in this more contented, healed state that we manifest those lessons into physical reality, put them to work.

May we sit this evening for that healing, that contentment, which allows the Creative Forces to work through us, for ourselves and for humanity at large.

With Blessings for all,

Richard

Hello again beautiful people. We have 3 new people on our list tonight. So, as a reminder, we sit for 20 minutes beginning at 9pm, for which we are all grateful. Here goes:

We sometimes ask, "What are we doing here in this world, dealing with such strife, chaos, and anguish?" The answer is profoundly simple – we are learning the value of divinity.

Our Divine Source knows its own divinity – is only divinity. In order to have the experience of not being divine, and to then experience the amazing transformation of regaining divinity it created our physical universe – and we decided to come along. Probably because it looked like fun at the time.

So here we are, desperately striving for our own divinity, and valiantly dragging along those not interested in divinity at all. We're workhorses so to speak.

May we sit this evening for the strength and courage to carry on. May we shine our lights from where we are. May the Divine reach down to assist us.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello bright and beautiful people. As we understand it no one is promised perfect health. When our souls come into a body we, on a spiritual level, willingly take on all the chaos that can come with inhabiting materiality.
 
The difference is all in how lovingly we attend to the chaos. Not to say that we instantly love all variations of dis-ease. We may well have to go through the many steps of grieving for lost health before coming to acceptance.

It's knowing that we're working our way toward acceptance, which helps smooth the path, even as we keep working on it.

May we sit this evening for all facets of life which require acceptance, and further work, whether it be internal or external to us.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello to one and all. The 'great replacement' is a white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory which purports the idea that non-whites are being assisted in taking over society. While being widely ridiculed for its blatant absurdity, the paranoia and fear of it has taken hold of a large section of the population. 

Fully one half of the 1200 people who were arrested for the January 6th insurrection were doctors, lawyers, and business owners who subscribed to that theory. They felt they had something to lose.

While the theory flies in the face of 'all men are created equal' and 'everyone is a child of God' the fear and paranoia of it has been pushed by self-serving leaders around the world.

This evening may we petition God to send down its Light on all concerned, that we may find compassionate answers to today's complex problems. May cooler heads and warmer hearts prevail.

Offered in reverence for all,

Richard
